What a day!

Patricks birthday party was yesterday and we had a terrific time! He had lots of guests: Grandma & Grandpa F, Grampy & Grandma M, Auntie Boo and James, Auntie Sara, Uncle Derek, and cousins Ayla, Mattea & Janae, Great Grandpa Bert and Great Grandpa & Great Grandma H. Whew!

Patrick was napping when everyone arrived and was a little overwhelmed to wake up to such a large croud! He had a great time playing with his new gifts: this one is from us

After some socializing, we had lunch, and then opened gifts. Patrick got lots of great stuff: a step-2 wagon, a toddler bed, a bath-tub boat, a pool with built in shade, a sun hat, balloons, summer clothes, an Einstein DVD (nursery numbers), a lil-tykes basketball net and ball, book set with CD -- he was spoiled rotten!!!

Then it was cake time! Patrick got to stick his hand in his cake and taste the icing. He had such a sugar high after that, he skipped his afternoon nap AND didn't go to bed until 7!

It was a great day. Thank you to everyone for coming and being so generous with your gifts and your time.
